Seth Reeder, who was born in the house, advises that Fred Gray was also a butcher,
specialising in pigs. The wicket was initially constructed to separate the room for
hanging carcasses from the public area.
The cellar was at ground level in a lean-to brick extension to the main house. Beer was
carried from the cellar in jugs and then served as demanded at the tables.
James Elmar had been seriously injured during the First World War, suffering loss
of an eye and fibrosis of the spine.
The house closed 1982 following the death of Daisy

Daisy Elmar with Donald Steward (of
S&P). It looks like he's after HER autograph.
Note the high backed settle. Also note the USAF aircraft pictured on
the wall. Hardwick Aerodrome, an American Base, was nearby and many of its servicemen
frequented the house. |

The Three Nags sign during the
Steward and Patteson era.
Watney Mann supplied a new sign which did not have the horses on it, they instead chose to
depict 3 old women.
Daisy Elmar was outraged (you think sexism is new), she refused point bank to allow the
sign to be hung. Watneys admitted that the sign-writer employed could not
paint horses! Daisy got horses, `but they were never as good as the ones
portrayed on the S&P sign' |

Dated 1949.
The large sign above the door
says -
'James J Elmar, Fully Licensed' . |
